In this episode of Return To Yin (previously Soulthentic) Podcast, I interview the radiant Solla Pizzuto, Senior Chi Nei Tsang and Universal Tao teacher trained by Master Mantak Chia.

Together, we explore Solla’s powerful path into Taoist healing arts and how Chi Nei Tsang, an abdominal massage rooted in ancient Taoism can release emotional imprints. Solla shares how she came to this practice, how it transformed her relationship with her body and spirit, and why womb healing is vital for reclaiming our intuitive, creative power. She speaks with depth, humor, and wisdom, offering guidance for anyone curious about the energetic body, feminine embodiment, and the Taoist path of inner alchemy.

Topics Covered:

— What is Chi Nei Tsang and how does it work?— The journey of becoming a Universal Tao teacher— The power of womb wisdom and womb work— Using modalities for healing: sound, somatics, manual therapy, abdominal work— Healing of the feminine energy— Practical tips for practitioners and people wanting to know more about emotional healingFeel free to like, comment and share to anyone who would appreciate this conversation.

Trauma doesn't just live in the mind - it lives in the body, the meridians, the breath. In this conversation, Dr. Linh sits down with Tracey Post and Doren Day to explore the Tao of Trauma: a practice that weaves Chinese medicine's Five Elements with somatic, touch-based healing to help the nervous system find its way back to safety.

Together they unpack how intention and touch can restore what trauma disrupts — and what it means to heal through the body's own ancient wisdom.

Retreat is a way to sustain the inner fire, especially in a fiery year.

In this episode, Linh explores the Chinese medicine perspective on rest and retreat in summer and why the Heart needs stillness as much as connection, and how to slow down even when life won't.

In this episode: the Fire Element, mindful stillness, mindful speaking, and what it means to live with a settled Heart this season.

In times of heightened Fire energy, it’s easy to feel overstimulated, reactive, and burned out. In this episode, we explore how to anchor into Water, the element of depth, stillness, and inner safety to stay grounded amidst intensity.

Through the lens of Chinese Medicine and cyclical wisdom, I share how to recognize when Fire is rising and how to restore balance by returning to your breath, your body, and your inner reserves.

✨ This episode is an invitation to slow down, soften, and remember: you don’t have to match the intensity but rather you can stay rooted.
